Bug Description
During a checkbox installation from scratch one Sean Feole reported problems when running checkbox.
Looking at the logs, the problem was that `cairo` package wasn't found when trying to import it `gtk_interface.py`. After installing `python-cairo` package, the problem was gone and everyting worked fine.
According to `debian/control` file `python-cairo` isn't required by `checkbox-gtk` and using `apt-rdepends checkbox-gtk` I see that `libcairo2` is required, but not `python-cairo`. Hence, it seems that `python-cairo` isn't required either directly or indirectly.
I guess that it's a common package required by other applications and that's the reason this problem hasn't been found yet. Anyway, to prevent it from happening again it should be added to `debian/control`.

Python-cairo is installed by default on the Ubuntu CD (as of Precise, at least). I'm curious to know what Sean Feole was using as a basis for his project. Of course explicitly having the dependency is the best way to go, but I'd still like to know :)
